I look at it as a time for JT to get a good rest, his body sure needs it.

If it's only a month yes they can

[@dj1698]

This season is ALL GAS, NO BRAKES!!! Dave Dombrowski needs to make a trade for a catcher if there’s a good player available. Being complacent & hoping Stubbs/Marchan duo will replace JT isn’t an option. Keep the foot on the pedal!!

And after a month when JT is back what then?? Why would we do that when we already have roster constraints. Turner is coming back that’ll make up for Stubbs bat but he’s perfectly fine catching a game.

@@coledavis6504 we have better depth. What happens if he gets injured again?

[@chasebingaman]

You don't trade for backup catchers, and especially not with your starting catcher being paid 20 million

@@chasebingaman If your putting all your chips on Stubbs, good luck.

@@dj1698 brother it's June 12th and we have the best record in ball. Stubbs and Marchan both call a great game and we are getting Trea Turner next week. Let's not act as if JT has been having his best season because he's continued his decline in all areas
